Section 5:47-4.3 - Consistency of project with plan

(a) The Department will review the activities in the project to determine that they are in furtherance of the approved neighborhood revitalization plan on the basis of the following criteria:

1. To the extent possible, each activity shall clearly fit within an element of the plan, although the specific activity set forth in the project may be a subset or part of an element of the plan. For example, the plan may call for rehabilitation of abandoned housing in the neighborhood, and the project may identify specific abandoned buildings that are to be rehabilitated during the term of the project;

2. The plan element shall clearly encompass the proposed activity. For example, the plan may call in general terms for a commercial revitalization program for a business district in the neighborhood, which can be spelled out in detail in the project; and

3. Activities set forth in a project need not be set forth specifically in the plan, as long as the activity clearly furthers an element or a strategy that is set forth in the plan. For example, if the plan calls for developing housing for home ownership, a program of homebuyer education and counseling can be an eligible activity even though it is not set forth in the plan.

(b) A nonprofit organization may submit a project and a plan or a plan amendment simultaneously, in which case the Department will review and approve the plan or the plan amendment before initiating its review of the project.
